akalsey, I tend to agree with you. I think pitching machine and stealing to not mix to begin with. Why our state has decided to make exception to that rule baffles me. Kids might learn more about sliding, tagging, etc., but with a "timeout" being called every time the lead runner is stopped and an "implied" play ball everytime the ball is pitched, it is very difficult for a runner to determine when the ball is live. I personally think there should be no stealing.
